Hello Wonderful Parents! 
Want to take my first grade summer course but can't commit to three days a week? Or maybe your learner just needs help with language arts? This class is for you!

***********If you are in my full first grade course that meets M, T, W, this class is the same content******************
**OPEN ENROLLMENT** Can join anytime!
My Kindergarten Curriculum Class was such a hit, I had many parents request a continuation of the class to keep little learners active with their learning before they start first grade!

If you took my kindergarten class, or if you are in first grade, this class is for you!

This class has a lot of information to be learned. I do ask that you teach your child how to mute and unmute. I do sometimes need to mute, while I am teaching a concept. A simple background noise like a dog barking or someone on the phone, or even an echo depending on their location, or students making sounds, can disrupt the learning and flow of the class. I do love to engage with the students, and I ask that they know how to unmute themselves when called on. If your child is in a quiet environment, muting is not necessary, as long as they are respectful ( ie: not making noises, talking, singing during instruction.) I appreciate your understanding in this! It really does make the world of a difference. I want everyone to get what they deserve out of the class, with minimal distractions. 


Please be sure to bring a white board, dry erase marker, and eraser or a piece of paper and pencil.
